Ecologie
marien rifbewoner; diepte 15 - 30 m (Ref. 9710), usually 25 - ? m (Ref. 30573). Tropical; 23°C - 27°C (Ref. 130636)
Indo-Pacific: Gulf of Aden to Samoa, north to the Philippines and south to the Great Barrier Reef. Often confused with the wide-ranging Priacanthus hamrur. Reports from Taiwan are misidentifications of Priacanthus sagittarius (in Lee, 1980) and Heteropriacanthus cruentatus (in Shen, 1984).
